The art and the artist
I left the print over the weekend and I came back to spaghetti. It looks like something, caused the printer to push the print off its base like it was a poorly leveled bed?
I still have to watch the camera footage to see what failed, but I hope you guys get a chuckle out of the spaghetti monster like I did.

If you already have a camera on it, you're halfway there.
I’ve been looking at this for a while. The camera I have on it is a security camera that i put on my desk while it prints if I’m gone.
Do you think its worth pulling the trigger on a raspberry pie to get this set up?
I've been using a pi3 b+ with octopi and so far it's great even without obico, plus super easy to set up. I set up octopi to get my ender 3 away from high occupancy areas because the hot plastic VOCs were giving me paranoia :P I can recommend investing in a solid setup for any small computer used to drive 3d prints. My setup is a hack with no thermal management and a crap power supply and I've lost a couple of prints to unknown causes but I blame the raspberry pi (it's almost always reporting under voltage events in the octoprint UI).
Has anyone here run self-hosted obico? I'm not keen on the cloud version but if the failure detection works in self hosted mode I'm definitely going to give it a try.
I just picked up a pi4 b today and was tinkering with octoprint.
So far it looks great, i just haven't figured out how to get the pi camera module 3 working quite yet. The stream from octoprint just constantly tries to load.
I’m excited to try some prints with it soon!
Cool! The only advice I have for that is make sure it's not plugged into the display connector 😹 I've wasted a good amount of time doing that myself.
Oh man, you should have seen me looking for the HDMI ports. I was very confused until I realized my mistake. Turns out that there’s more than one kind, who knew🤷
I’ll have to give that camera connection a second look lol
If you do long prints, yes. You can set it to stop the print automatically, or alert you to take a look.
